guantanamo are people that have been cleared for transfer, that the cia and department of justice and the fbi have looked at and concluded we are not to prosecute them, we do not have evidence, and we do not believe they present a significant risk to us, and we do not want to keep them -- they have been sitting in your after year at guantanamo because of their citizenship. because we do not trust the yemen government to be responsible. part of the justification for the drone program is that we have the consent of the many government to conduct the operation. they're not trustworthy when it comes to taking detainee's. it seems we're a bit hypocritical in our views of yemen. as i said, i think guantanamo remains a stain on our reputation. recently, congress passed a bill that prohibits granting visas to members of the russian government that refused to human rights the violations. president obama signed it. in retaliation, the russian government passed a bill that prohibits americans from adopting russian children, and president clinton, before signing it at a news conference, was quite angry a

more than the fbi. it's not just our size, mandate, or unique authority that is important. it is how we and how i view our mission and how our agency sees that mission. when i joined sigar, i made it clear on the first day that you should view this as a mission and not as a job. if you see this as a job, as a place to retire in place, you should leave, because i only wanted people with fire in the belly, because we have a limited amount of time to do good in the construction in afghanistan. i have used that fire in the belly speech so much that my chief of staff has coined a new term called "fitb." it has worked. i am proud of my 200 agents, auditors, and investigators, because they all have that fire in the belly. they can work elsewhere. some of them are working in the worst conditions. they're working in conditions as bad as our military is in afghanistan. many of them are housed in the same facilities. they take the mission because they believe in it. that is the difference with sigar. that's why i think we can make a difference. i also told them that we are going to be

during 2010, there were more than 76,000 76,000 cases referred by the fbi to the justice department. you know how many were prosecuted out of that number? 44. not 44,000. 44 out of 76,000. this is a joke. it is a sad joke. it is a lethal joke. these are felony cases involving criminals trying to buy guns. our federal government is prosecuting less than .1% of them. it is shameful and it has to end and the president can do it i picking up the phone and saying , this is your job. oh do it, or i will get somebody that will. the third, he can make a recess appointment. the ats has not had a director for six years. can you imagine how much out raged there would be if we had been without a homeland security secretary for six years? this is a public safety threat, as much as it would be if we had no secretary for homeland security. if congress keeps blocking the appointees, all the president has to do is make a recess appointment. it is relatively easy and has been done many times. you cannot have an agency without somebody running it who will do the job it was created for. that job is to p
